2. In the survey of the club leaders’ coping strategies, “Rational Thinking” is the most frequently chosen option, followed by “Problem Solving”, “Emotional Adjustment” and “Support Seeking”. “Procrastination” is the least chosen.
3. The role stress of the club leaders varies significantly in relation to their personal backgrounds as well as the club characteristics. The personal factors include the features of their university, the department the leaders belong to, and the amount of hours they invest into the club each week. As for the club characteristics, the type of the club, the club founding history, the number of the club members, the transferring situation of the previous members to the current ones and the condition the club is presently confronted with all make a significant difference to the degree of the role stress.

The personal factors include the features of their university, gender, the amount of hours they invest into studying each week, their part-time working hours per week, and their experiences as club cadres. As for the club characteristics, the club founding history, the number of the club members, the transferring situation of the previous members to the current ones and the condition the club is presently confronted with all make a significant difference to the coping strategies.
